Added at the user's request (October 2026): LPI Rack Range (Thailand)
Corp., Ltd., Bangkok head office, plants in Bangplee Industrial Estate
and Bangpla (Samut Prakan); office mobile shelving for documents, pallet
racking (selective, drive-in, mobile, shuttle, pallet flow), picking
shelves and mezzanines, mould-and-die racking, mini-load AS/RS; no specs
or prices published (lpi.co.th, checked October 2026).
equipment-suppliers.md section 8 entry; the Thai supplier the archive
shelving is quoted against (facility-security.md open points, supplier
map archive line); racking candidate in the utilities CSV.
Planned (October 2026, user): the archive in the office gets mobile
archive shelving, A-Z Solutions (Vienna) as the reference
(a-z-solutions.eu, checked October 2026: hand wheel or electric drive,
lockable, rails need early floor planning; no published prices).
facility-security.md, new section under Protecting the irreplaceable:
what it holds (fathers and mothers, ~1,200 to 2,400 parts a year; a
reference pressing per title only as a proposal), sizing estimates (about
0.2 kg per part, ~3 mm and ~75 kg per shelf metre; in the Payap office's
~4 x 5.75 m room two fixed runs, four double carriages and one aisle hold
~150 shelf metres, ~50,000 parts, 20+ years), what it asks of the
building (ground slab at full rating, ~11 kN/m2 under the block; rails in
the screed fixed before the floor finish; geared hand wheel; gas,
climate, leak sensor, access control; barcoded box addresses), open
points (quotes from A-Z and a Thai supplier, storage format from the
galvanics vendors, fathers in a second compartment or off site).
Mirrors: site-candidates.md (office ground floor), phase 1 RFQ (archive
keeps the full slab rating if the slab is zoned), digital-factory.md
(archive location as box and shelf position, sets per mother),
equipment-suppliers.md (section 8 entry), total-investment.md added scope
(to quote, not in the sum).
New page docs/steam-cooling.html (site /demos/steam-cooling/): the
utility plant as a clickable process diagram. Steam side: raw water,
softener and dosing, feed tank with heat-pump feedwater recovery, feed
pumps, a bank of two 500 kg/h boilers (third for N+1 as an option),
separator and metering, optional accumulator, blowdown, the 10 bar
header with a valved, metered branch and trap per press, drip legs and
condensate return. Cooling side: Newbilt's press outlets are open (max.
2 bar), so returns drain to a warm tank, pass the heat pump, an optional
dry cooler and a plate heat exchanger to a cold buffer tank, and VFD
pumps feed the 20 to 25 C header at ~10 bar to every press, the
extruders and the central hydraulic oil cooler; the chiller loop
(three 250 kW air-cooled modules at 40 C ambient, fourth as option) stays
closed and clean. Galvanics cooling (12 to 20 C) is a separate circuit.
Operating cases (launch, Duplex system 1, five presses, one module down)
show demand against installed capacity; design basis with sources,
equipment schedule, RFQ questions. Static SVG, no per-frame work.
Design basis at Newbilt's per-machine figures: steam 750 to 900 kg/h,
cooling 652.5 kW (625 presses, 15 extruders, 12.5 hydraulics), 305 to
540 l/min circulating. Also found: Newbilt's 53 l/min at ~60 C out is
~140 kW, above its 125 kW peak; listed as a re-quote question.
Re-based in the same commit:
- scale.md: electrical table (chiller bank ~210 to 325 kW electrical,
plant peak ~430 to 700 kW, ~950 to 1,330 kW with electric steam),
grid 800 to 1,000 kVA (1,250 to 1,600 with electric steam, Schedule
4 past 1,000 kW), tariff 4.5M to 6.8M THB/yr, battery ~1 h of chiller
peak, boiler and chiller banks, biomass up to ~550 t/yr at 1.5 M
records, utilities money line.
- sustainability.md, biomass.md: same figures; electric steam 5.2M to
6.0M THB/yr mature, 1.6M to 1.8M early; fuel saving 4.0M to 5.4M.
- utilities CSV: boiler bank, chiller bank with HX and tanks, softener
and loop treatment re-sized; baseline 23.98M-41.63M -> 30.07M-51.33M.
- total-investment.md: re-size as an added-scope row (+185k / +294k
USD); headline 4.7M to 8.9M unchanged until the investment re-base.
- pressing-line, equipment-suppliers, facility-security, fleet
calculator (boiler 1000 kg/h, chiller 750 kW), plant page detail
texts; README, landing page, build.sh.
User, October 2026: the Duplex sketch is not to scale, check it against
the documents; the fire water tank is too small.
Model (changed live in the open FreeCAD 26.3 document):
- both Duplex cells rebuilt in the sketched arrangement at the documented
sizes: presses 0.95 m square (0.9 m2) turned 45 deg, EX 50 0.5 x 1.0 m
(0.5 m2), EX 35 0.4 x 0.8 m and trimmer 0.6 x 0.6 m (estimates),
operator position marked; 0.6 to 0.8 m between machines;
- fire water: the ~25 m3 yard tank replaced by the facility-security
planning tank, 9 m x 4 m (254 m3 gross, ~200 m3 usable), new params
fw_dia, fw_h, fw_x, fw_y, at the front by the access road, outside the
production yard, on a ring foundation, with a pump house (duty electric,
standby diesel, jockey); the yard process water tank is now the 5 x 3 m
raw water tank of the phase 1 RFQ.
Docs: site-candidates (cell, raw water, fire water bullet),
facility-security (the Payap model draws the tank; 6 m racking and twice
the floor area make ~200 m3 a floor there).
New docs/crane-workshop-tours.md: a 5 t single-girder EOT crane over the
whole production compartment (stops at the warehouse fire wall), a
machine door and crane-served workshop/machine bay at the ramp end, and
a glazed ground-level visitor corridor along the car-park elevation with
stations in process order, its own air and acoustic glazing so tours
need no PPE. Covers what each changes in the shell (crane-ready frame,
hook height under the 7.0 m eave, no full-height cross walls in the
crane zone, room lids and crane hatches), safety, costs and open
decisions.
Propagated: construction RFQ (crane-ready frame, new section 1c, machine
door, accessible 1:12 entrance now required), scale zone table (+210 to
280 m2, total ~1,400 to 2,000 m2), facility security, worker safety,
roadmap items 9 and 15, total investment added-scope table, README.
Models the plot and everything on it in FreeCAD, and writes up the
decisions the modelling forced.
Parcel geometry is traced from the DOL LandsMaps cadastral polygon and
reconciled against that portal's own measured edge lengths (40.86 + 26.61
/ 166.81 / 42.48 + 14.94 / 152.46 m), which the trace reproduces to within
about 1% with 1.67 m of closure error over a 444 m perimeter. Note the
mapped extent comes out near 9,570 sqm against a deed area of 8,266 sqm,
a ~16% gap that needs a surveyor before any offer.
On the site: 60x25 m production building on a 10 degree monopitch, a
45x38 m phase-2 building, roof and carport PV, fire and raw water tanks,
a detached boiler/chiller utility yard, perimeter wall and gate, guard
house, roofed staff parking, and the loading and fire-access roads.
Docs:
- scale.md: expansion headroom for a second building, and the detached
utility yard, which frees ~126 sqm inside the main shed
- sustainability.md: roof orientation study (rotating the building for
solar gains under 1 point and costs 4 m of clearance, so it stays
aligned to the plot), and a new water supply section
- facility-security.md: fire water supply behind the existing
suppression design
Figures marked as estimates are planning-grade, not engineering
calculations; the PV module spec is a generic placeholder, and zoning for
factory use on this plot is still unverified.
- docs/facility-layout.drawio: zoned floor concept (production, galvanics,
utilities, logistics, support) with material and stamper flow arrows
- PNG and PDF exports alongside the source
- facility-security.md: suppression subsection no longer splits the fire
safety bullet list; clean agent wording updated to FK-5-1-12
